: Sam,: Good to hear from you again. Yes, that sounds like His Holiness. I also heard, I think read in Trycicle that His Holiness said when he dies, he will not re-incarnate in Tibet. Interesting. Maybe the Dharma is slowing heading for the West. Just as long as the original teaching and essence doesn't change that's fine. The form will always change from country to country, culture to culture. The Dalai Lama is truly a good example of a bodhisattva of compassion! Thanks for your info.
